MINI BIO:
Tall, bushy-browed and with a round, smiley face, Ronald Adam was mostly seen as bureaucrats and administrators; his authority perhaps stemmed from his days as an officer in World War I (he was a prisoner-of-war) and a wing-commander in World War II (wrangling his way in, despite his age). In between, he gave up a career as a chartered accountant to concentrate on the stage. Film character roles became plentiful for him as he neared middle age. Adam was also a prolific writer and the author of several plays.
